I was watching Golf yesterday and was happy to see Justin Rose win at Torrey Pines. If you’re like me, you were curious about this place:

Torrey Pines Golf Course is a 36-hole municipal public golf facility on the west coast of the United States, owned by the city of San Diego, California. It sits on the coastal cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the community of  La Jolla, just south of Torrey Pines State Reserve. Opened 62 years ago in 1957, it was built on the site of Camp Callan, A U.S. Army installation during  World War II.

Since the late 1960s, Torrey Pines has hosted the Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour, held annually in January or February.

Torrey Pines has a unique method to ensure continued public access to the course. On weekends, individuals arrive as early as 6 p.m. the prior night to get in line for the first-come, first-served tee times that are given out from sunrise till the first reservations at 7:30 a.m.
